Mandy Moore son name has a sweet story behind it: Actor and singer Mandy Moore recently gave birth to her first child with her husband Taylor Goldsmith. She recently took to her Instagram to reveal the story behind the meaning of her newborn's name– August. Moore shared a picture of the newborn sleeping with a small grey blanket with his name embroidered across it, writing that August was the month she and husband Goldsmith found out they were having a son.
"It was last August when @taylordawesgoldsmith and I found out we were having a boy (it's also Taylor's birth month) and we always loved the name... so it was settled very early on in our book," she wrote in the caption. Turns out the blanket was a gift from Goldsmith for the couple's anniversary and holds even more sentimental value as she further wrote, "Then for our anniversary in November, T gifted me with this blanket with the "A" (for Amanda) made from extra material from my wedding dress and "T" (for Taylor) from his wedding shirt," she wrote. "Felt like a very fitting amalgamation of our whole story. I can't wait to pass this on to our sweet August one day."
